MSCI Develops Solution to Centralize Private Market Climate and Sustainability Disclosures - Seite 2

“By working with MSCI and Persefoni to support the establishment of a platform that leverages the ESG IDP, we’re able to better respond to the unique challenges and opportunities of the private markets,” said Michael Kashani, Managing Director, Head of ESG Credit at Apollo, and Inaugural Chair of the ESG IDP Executive Committee. “Increasing standardization and driving transparency on material ESG factors reinforces our focus on value creation and meeting stakeholder needs.”

MSCI Private Company Data Connect also helps companies without emissions data simplify carbon accounting through software from Persefoni AI Inc. (“Persefoni”), which provides technology to businesses and financial institutions. The Persefoni AI-powered, carbon measurement and reporting tool, Persefoni Pro, is a guided platform available for free to MSCI Private Company Data Connect users.

“This collaboration targets a pivotal area in today's corporate sustainability efforts – closing the carbon emissions reporting gap for both public and private companies,” said Kentaro Kawamori, CEO and Co-Founder of Persefoni. “This initiative represents a material stride towards enhancing transparency in private assets, a sector where data accessibility has traditionally been challenging.”

MSCI Private Company Data Connect is available on MSCI ONE, a cloud-based technology platform that provides investors and companies access to MSCI’s portfolio of products and solutions.
